Led by the Spirit 2
This morning I began reading the Gospel of Luke. I planned to read until the Spirit stopped me with a lesson or challenge. It happened when I came to 2:27, “That day the Spirit led him to the Temple.” The statement is in reference to an old man by the name of Simeon who had been promised by God that he would not die before he saw the Messiah with his own eyes. One day Simeon was prompted to walk to the Temple. There he met Mary, Joseph and the eight day old baby Jesus.
My mind then went to the statement in Matthew 4:1 where it says that “Jesus was led by the Spirit to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.”
And here is what I wrote in my journal: “May I be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit today. I know what my schedule is, but help me to be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading. If he prompts me to speak to someone, pray for someone, go somewhere, or do something may I be open to his leading. May today be an adventure with the Spirit of God!”
Perhaps you would pray a similar prayer and see what awaits you today!
Tim
it has been my prayer for the awareness to be lead and has been accompanied by praying for the follow-through to actually do what he leads me to. thanks for sharing.
This is way more heflpul than anything else Ive looked at.
